Database Provider

This help article describes how you can bind the RadGantt by using the built-in DataSourceViewProvider. If you are using a declarative DataSource to populate RadGantt by specifying DataSourceID and DependenciesDataSourceID properties, thencontrol will automatically create a DataSourceView provider and will use it to update the information.

Binding the control by using the DataSourceViewProvider is achievable by following the below listed steps.

1. Assign the DataSourceID and DependenciesDataSourceID to the respective data source controlsthat the RadGantt should use to retrieve its data.

2. Set the properties avaiable under the TaskDataBindings and DependenciesDataBindings sectionsrequired to translating the database columns to the object-model of the RadGantt to the appropriate fields of the datasource.

The following example illustrates a possible realization of the above mentioned.

<telerik:RadGantt RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadGantt1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DependenciesDataSourceID="SqlDataSource2">
    <DataBindings>
        <TasksDataBindings IdField="ID" ParentIdField="ParentID" StartField="Start" EndField="End" TitleField="Title" PercentCompleteField="PercentComplete" />
        <DependenciesDataBindings TypeField="Type" IdField="ID" PredecessorIdField="PredecessorID" SuccessorIdField="SuccessorID" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadGantt>
